What makes any bird a 'great' bird? For some birders, it's the rarity of a species that they've finally added to their life list after years of patient watching. Others will tell you that the great birds are the most beautiful ones. But most people know that the great birds are simply the ones we like the best, rare or common - the ones that have imprinted themselves indelibly on our lives.This beautiful book presents exquisite paintings of forty-eight Texas birds chosen by John O'Neill and Suzanne Winckler as their own personal 'greats'. Some of the birds are as common as they are beloved. Others are definitely life-list birds - rare, beautiful, exotic-sounding, or all three at once. The authors have also gathered a flock of well-known Texas birders and nature writers to offer personal, scientific, or literary observations about each bird. In all, forty-eight writers, one to a bird, are included here.These beautifully detailed paintings and the observations that accompany them make a convincing case that these are, indeed, the great Texas birds. Whether you're a serious birder or simply a backyard bird watcher, you'll find in this book a 'lovely edifice' where people who care about birds can be together. Both artist and editor are native Texans. John P. O' Neill's bird paintings have appeared in many publications and have been exhibited in museums and institutions around the world. He lives in St. Gabriel, Louisiana. Suzanne Winckler, who helped to edit "The Bird Life of Texas", is a freelance writer in Omaha, Nebraska, where she works for the Nature Conservancy.
